Mithridates Of Armenia
Mithridates of Armenia () was a Pharnavazid prince of the Kingdom of Iberia who served as a King of Armenia under the protection of the Roman Empire. Mithridates was installed by Roman emperor Tiberius, who invaded Armenia in AD 35. When the Parthian prince Orodes, son of Artabanus II of Parthia, attempted to dispossess Mithridates of his newly acquired kingdom, Mithridates led a large Armenian and Iberian army and defeated the Parthians in a pitched battle. Around AD 37, the new emperor Caligula had Mithridates arrested, but Claudius restored him to the Armenian throne in AD 42. Subsequently, Mithridates' relations with his brother Pharasmanes I deteriorated to the point where the Iberian king instructed his son, Rhadamistus, to invade Armenia. Betrayed by his Roman commanders, Mithridates surrendered in the Siege of Garni. Roman historian Cassius Dio reports a likely apocryphal confrontation of Mithridates and Claudius in Rome Rome (Italian language, Italian an ...

Pharasmanes I
Pharasmanes I the Great ( ka, ფარსმან I დიდი; died 58) was a king ('' mepe'') of Iberia. He plays a prominent role in the historian Tacitus' account of policy and campaigns in the eastern lands of the Roman Empire under Tiberius, Caligula, Claudius and Nero. According to Cyril Toumanoff, Pharasmanes was a member of the third Pharnavazid dynasty and reigned from 1 to 58. Pharasmanes is mentioned on the Stele of Vespasian. During his reign, Iberia was transformed into the Transcaucasian empire, that would dominate the kingdoms of Armenia and Albania. Life As allies of Rome, his brother Mithridates was installed as king of Armenia by Roman emperor Tiberius, who invaded Armenia in 35. When the Parthian prince Orodes, son of Artabanus II of Parthia, attempted to dispossess Mithridates of his newly acquired kingdom, Pharasmanes led a large Iberian army and defeated the Parthians in a pitched battle (Tacitus, ''Annals''. vi. 32–35).

Caligula
Gaius Caesar Augustus Germanicus (31 August 12 – 24 January 41), also called Gaius and Caligula (), was Roman emperor from AD 37 until his assassination in 41. He was the son of the Roman general Germanicus and Augustus' granddaughter Agrippina the Elder, members of the Julio-Claudian dynasty, first ruling family of the Roman Empire. He was born two years before Tiberius became emperor. Gaius accompanied his father, mother and siblings on campaign in Germania, at little more than four or five years old. He had been named after Gaius Julius Caesar, but his father's soldiers affectionately nicknamed him "Caligula" ('little boot'). Germanicus died in Antioch in 19, and Agrippina returned with her six children to Rome, where she became entangled in a bitter feud with Emperor Tiberius, who was Germanicus' biological uncle and adoptive father. The conflict eventually led to the destruction of her family, with Caligula as the sole male survivor. In 26, Tiberius withdrew from pub ...

Arsaces I Of Armenia
Arsaces I of Armenia, also known as Arsaces I, Arshak I and Arsak (ruled 35 AD) was a Parthian prince who was king of Armenia during 35 AD. Arsaces I was the first-born son of King Artabanus II of Parthia by a wife whose name is unknown. After the death of the Roman client king of Armenia, Artaxias III, in 34 AD, Artabanus II decided to put his son on the Armenian throne. Artabanus II made Arsaces I king of Armenia and Arsaces was accompanied to Armenia with a strong army. Roman emperor Tiberius, refused to accept Arsaces I as king. So Tiberius, with the support of King Pharasmanes I of Iberia, appointed Pharasmanes' brother, Mithridates, to be the new Roman client Armenian king. Less than a year into his reign, Arsaces I was poisoned by his servants who had been bribed to kill him. After Arsaces I died, Artabanus II put another of his sons, Orodes, on the Armenian throne.

Siege Of Garni
The siege of Garni was a siege in 51 AD led by Rhadamistus, the son of the Iberian King Pharasmanes I against his uncle Mithridates, the king of Armenia in the Iberian–Armenian War. Background Mithridates, the younger brother of Pharasmanes I ascended to the Armenian throne with the help of Sarmatians and Alanian mercenaries. A Roman garrison installed in Garni near Artaxata secured Mithridates' rule over Armenia, Although Emperor Caligula had held Mithridates of Armenia captive for some years in Rome, after which Claudius sent him back to Artaxata, Armenia was now a Roman vassal state under Iberian control. But when Mithridates refused to support his brother Pharasmanes in a victorious attack on Caucasian Albania, Pharasmanes provided troops for his son Rhadamistus to capture Armenia and overthrow his uncle.

Iberian–Armenian War
The war between the kingdoms of Iberia and Armenia (AD 50-54) is known chiefly through its description in Tacitus Annals''. The war took place as a delicate balance of power between the Roman and Parthian empires was in place in the Caucasus. Rome was then ruled by Claudius, Parthia by Vologases I. Two Iberian brothers then ruled the Caucasian kingdoms, Pharasmanes I in Iberia, Mithridates in Armenia. They were both dependent on Roman support, which had installed Mithridates on the Armenian throne in 35 AD. However, 15 years later, trust between the brothers had deteriorated, which Tacitus blames on the intrigues of Pharasmanes' son Rhadamistus. Fearing usurpation by Rhadamistus, his father convinced him to make war upon his uncle and claim the Armenian throne for himself. The Iberians invaded with a large army, with him surrounding and starting a siege against Mithridates at the fortress of Gorneas (Garni), which was garrisoned by the Romans under the command of Caelius Pol ...

Rhadamistus
Rhadamistus (died 58) was a royal prince of the Pharnavazid dynasty of the Iberia who reigned over the Kingdom of Armenia from 51 to 53 and 54 to 55. He was considered a usurper and tyrant, who was overthrown in a rebellion supported by the Parthian Empire. Life Rhadamistus was the eldest son of King Pharasmanes I of Iberia. His mother, whose name is not preserved, was an Armenian princess of the Artaxiad dynasty, daughter of Tigranes IV and his sister-wife Erato. Rhadamistus was known for his ambition, valor, extraordinary strength and size of body, and good looks. Although the Kingdom of Iberia was too small to satisfy him on its own, he was nonetheless openly impatient to inherit it from his aging father. Pharasmanes, fearing an attempt to usurp the throne, diverted Rhadamistus by convincing him to conquer the Kingdom of Armenia, then ruled by Pharasmanes' brother Mithridates. To conduct reconnaissance, Rhadamistus pretended that he was at feud with his father and stepmothe ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
